Özet

The arterial pattern of the upper limb is one of the systems that shows a large number of variations in the adult human body. Most of these variations occur in either the radial or ulnar artery; brachial artery variations are less common. In this case report we describe the anomaly in the formation of the brachial artery system. Appreciation of variations in the upper extremity vasculature is essential to prevent injury, particularly in patients undergoing arteriography. © 2007 Society for Vascular Nursing, Inc.
